MOTORTRUCK RISEGRADUAL Production Never Forced, Giving Ample Time For Large Improvements The motor truck was not forced. No extraordinary demand required that manufacturers entering this field of manufacturing, hurry their production to stupendous propor tions, as was the case with the pas senger car makers, who found a demand upon them long before their product had rea'ched its point of per fection. Truck makers developed their trucks, made vehicles In small quantities, and increased production as fast as the demand required. They found no great and pressing necessity for hurrying, and did not do so. W. B.

WRITE FOR CATALOGUES SATURDAY EVENING, pany, who entered the motor truck field aa a manufacturer with $12,- 000 capital, turned oOt four trucks and marketed them in New York. That was his first year's work. His output was added to year by year until now the company Is manufac turing 1,800 trucks for this year, and doubling orders on material. Mr. Hurlburt believes that the perfection reached by motor trucks in service to-day was due to the comparatively I small outputs of the makers, the op -1 portunlty pnasented in that way for careful observation and correction of • minor details, in some instances, and | larger details in others, as the prod | uct developed, and in many instances j to the marketing of the product by I makers close at hand, enabling the j maker himself to more closely watch I his trucks. Errors of construction ! with few trucks in operation did little j damage. "When the war broke out," ! said Mr. Hurlburt, "the truck came I into its own. The war required the j use of thousands upon thousands by the Allies for years, and the number ; required now is multiplied through the participation of the United ! States in war. The result has been j the broadening out of production, and this is due not only to the war, but to the success attained by Ame rican trucks at the front, and the consequent advertising given to the commercial car all over the world. The American market has grown amazingly since the war started, and had shown most startling growth previous to the American entry to the great struggle in Europe. Suc cess of America's trucks caused in ternational demands upon the makers of this country, and as a consequence the makers of America, including ourselves are broadening out in business and entering upon greatly increased production. Through the careful building up of the industry to the point of reliability of produc tion, the motor truck industry has grown to be one of the most Impor tant American industries." LIBERTY SIX AGENCY IN CITY Harrisburg Auto and Tire Repair Co. Are the Distributors The new Liberty Six Motor Car that has been creating such a sensa tion in the city of New York, is now being distributed in this territory by the Harrisburg Auto and Tire Repair Co., of 131 S. Third street. This new motor is a product of several notable engineers who have made a study of motor car needs and have embodied them into the Lib erty Six. The motor is of the six cylinder type and is built exclusively for the Liberty Car, by no less a na tional concern than the Continental j Motor Corporation. This concern, has a reputation for building/as near perfect a motor as modern science and ingenuity can be made to con struct. They have put into the Lib erty Six all that their complete force of experienced engineers know about motor cars. For beauty and power .ease of con trol and comfort in riding, it is claimed that this new Liberty is the equal of many of the higher priced cars. It is economical in running and is built for long service. The Liberty chassis is marked for its simplicity; it is sturdy and com pact. There Is a noticeable difference in its construction as regards rods and - springs and complicated parts. It also is a product of the best en gineering talent and has been so con structed as to eliminate many of the heretofore 'necessary' complicated parts. For power and efficiency it 'gets there." Hills and long runs are cov ered with ease. Its conomlcal tire cost together with many other prom inent features make it a desirable car of moderate price.

WAR SAVING DAY IS PROCLAIMED Governor Issues Call to Peo ple of State to Invest in the Stamps at Once Friday, June 28, was to-day pro claimed as "War Savings Day" in Pennsylvania in a proclamation is sued by Governor Martin G.

The proclamation is as follows — "Ahereas, In compliance witli the piiclaui.'kd wish of the President of the United States, it is determined that the people of this Commonwealth shall have in this month the ©p . portunlty of expressing once more their love and loyalty to this Republic in its hour of su preme need, by making, to the point of sincere sacrifice, con tributions to its support and thus acquiring the habit of sav ing and service, and providing in a practical and effective way the funds essential to a suc cessful issue in this world war, and, "Whereas, True patriotism will manifest itself only by mak ing such t sacrifices and by deny ing one's self the accustomed good usually enjoyed. Unless we give until we feel the giving keenly, we have not given worthily. Unless we love our | country enough to suffer for it, we are its unworthy sons. Un less we give beyond the nations urging we have not really sup ported the government.

' PRICES LOWER THAN IN 1910 Large Tire Concern Gives Tire Users Some Conso lation in This Fact Despite the fact that automobile tires have recently been increased ten per cent, in price because of war conditions, the United States Tire Company points out that these high, war-time prices are substantially less than tire users paid eight or nine years ago for tires which were in construction and materials much inferior to the tires of to-day. ,„, Th ® records of the United States Tire Company show that in 1910 the company s plain-tread tire, size 34x4, which is the standard of comparison *? o l i re P r ' ces > cost the consumer $48.30, and that the same style of •of JT® acheß the consumer to-day for Thls meana that the tire .j * w hich would to-day be con sidered antiquated, cost the con sumer about forty-six per cent, more than the splendidly constructed tire of to-day. The improvements In tire con struction have taken place along three essential lines; materials, the preparatory treatment of the ma terials, and the process by which the treated materials are brought together into the final product. A great deal of progress has been made with respect to each one of these essentials. The materials which enter into the construction of plain-tread tires are rubber-compounding ingredients and cotton fabrics. The rubber—es pecially plantation rubber—ls com <on ma rket in a much more uniform condition, which makes it possible for manufacturers to turn ""t a tire of more uniform quality: J l , respect to compounding In gredients, a number of new and better materials have been discov ered. Cotton fabric is also greatly uifl of to that which was used in v. because better constructions of the fabric have been developed to suit the special needs of tires. In addition, these fabrics are now built according to very carefully drawn specifications, which are very re stricted and insure a uniformly high grade material. The preliminary treatment of ma terials has bee.i improved through the introduction of superior methods of drying and mixing crude rubber and through the development of new methods of storing, drying and rub ber-coating the cotton fabric. The processes of assembling the different parts of the arUcle and of vulcanizing the tires, have been so greatly improved since 1910, that the progress made might be con sidered revolutionary. Further, labor-saving machinery and appli ances have greatly aided-in bringing down the price of tires. j^^News! Motorcycle enthusiasts are begin ning to look forward with eagerness to the pleasure promised by the Na tional Gypsy Tours, June 22 and 23 Officials of the Federation of Ameri can Motorcyclists, conducting the tour, have completed all the neces sary arrangements and done every thing possible to make the event a success. The National Gypsy Tours are pleasure tours in which every motor cycle rider may participate, obtain ing a maximum of enjoyment with a minimum of effort and expense, and the success of the 1917 Gypsy Tours has made the event the biggest an nual affair In motorcycledom. Last year 22,000 riders took part, and In dications point to at least 30,000 en tries this year. Each rider successfully finishing the tour will be presented with a handsome bronze medal, while rid ers who are F. A. M. members and who complete the tour will receive a bar at the top of their medals, sig nifying that they are members of the national motorcyclists' organiza tion. The three clubs having the largest entry lists will receive spec ial honor trophies in the form of handsome silver loving cups. But the real, honest to goodness drawing card for the outdoor enthu siast is the fun promised by the event, and there will be plenty of that.
